Agnes Grey

When the family of a minister comes to financial ruin, his daughter desperately attempts to earn money to help the family. Discovering that there are few jobs that “respectable” women can take in those times, she finds employment as a governess in several wealthy families with spoiled children that she must learn to control. Will she manage to overcome oppression, isolation and humiliation, and find love as well?Join us for Anne Bronte’s classic first novel, based upon many of her own experiences, and acting as a scathing critique of Victorian morality in what some have called “the most perfect prose narrative in English letters.”
